In my movie i have a part where i want a sword to have a trail following it. I got the trail to work using actionscript and duplicating the movie. But when i make a tween and rotate it half way, the movie screws up, and will just have the sword stop. How do i get this to work using actionscript. I want the sword to rotate by 90 degrees while still having its fading trail.
